Works on Water is part of Visions in the Nunnery, an annual exhibition of recent international artist films and videos. The six works selected for Works on Water all explore different aspects of the liquid element. It appears as medium of change and symbol of permanence, as metaphor for thought and madness, but also quite literally as means of transport and artistic tool.
